Maintain Festival

18 Oct 2022, Liverpool, UK

A celebration of those who maintain different parts of our world, and how they do it, recognizing the often hidden work done in repair, custodianship, stewardship, tending and caring for the things that matter.

The Festival of Maintenance is a non-profit community event, run by volunteers.

We were on a panel with Andy Dudfield from Full Fact, James Higgott from the NHS, and we were moderated by Zarino Zappia from Maintain.
